What matters in play
A flexible planter crop with two distinct endpoints: grain or forage chaff.
Exact prices, yields, capacities and cycle rates can change by patch, economy difficulty, map and mods. This page publishes the stable workflow and labels every current-content boundary.
What you need before starting
- 01
Planter
- 02
Combine with corn header for grain, or forage harvester with a compatible header for chaff
- 03
Store grain, or compact chaff for silage; keep enough trailers moving during forage harvest
Chronological workflow
- Step 1Check the crop calendar and prepare the correct field type before committing planter.
- Step 2Complete the enabled lime, fertilizer, weed, stone and rolling steps that apply to this field; choose the grain or chaff route before buying the header and transport fleet.
- Step 3Confirm the shop crop icons on both the harvester and its header or attachment: Combine with corn header for grain, or forage harvester with a compatible header for chaff.
- Step 4Reserve the unload, storage or production route before harvest: Store grain, or compact chaff for silage; keep enough trailers moving during forage harvest.
Decisions that change the result
- Lease specialist equipment when the crop will not keep it busy across several fields.
- Treat exact yield and sell-price tables as patch- and economy-setting dependent.
- Plan around the crop-specific constraint: choose the grain or chaff route before buying the header and transport fleet.
When the workflow is not working
The field will not accept seed
Recheck field type and shop compatibility. Required establishment route: Planter.
The harvester will not work
Confirm crop readiness and the exact supported crop icon. Required route: Combine with corn header for grain, or forage harvester with a compatible header for chaff.
The crop is ready but logistics are blocked
Use the planned route: Store grain, or compact chaff for silage; keep enough trailers moving during forage harvest. Check trailer fill type and destination acceptance before unloading.
